What is carbon-14 radioactive dating used for

1 answer:

3 0

Hey.

It is used for a prosecutor called carbon dating.This can be used to determine the age of an object.
So carbon 14 decays in biological life and we can find out how old objects are by finding the amount of C14 left.

So the answer is Carbon dating
Hope this helps and happy new year :)

Write a balanced equation from each cell notation:(b) Fe(s) | Fe²⁺(aq) | NO₃⁻(aq) | NO(g) | Pt(s)

tatiyna

The balanced redox reaction is

3Fe + 2NO₃⁻+ 8H+ → 3Fe²⁺ + 2NO + 4H2O

<h3>What is Galvanic cell? </h3>

It is a device that is used for the conversion of the chemical energy which is produce in the redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also termed as the voltaic cell or electrochemical cell.

In the voltaic cell, at anode which is negative electrode of voltaic cell oxidation occurs and at the cathode which is positive electrode, reduction occurs

<h3>What is redox reaction? </h3>

The reaction in which both reduction and oxidation reaction takes place simultaneously is known as redox reaction.

<h3>What is oxidation reaction? </h3>

The reaction in which a substance or compound or species looses its electrons. In this reaction, oxidation state of an element increases.

<h3>What is reduction reaction? </h3>

The reaction in which a substance or compound or species accept the electrons. In this reaction, oxidation state of an element decreases.

The given two-half reactions are:

At anode:

3Fe → 3Fe²⁺ + 6e-

At cathode:

8H(+) + 2NO₃⁻ → 2NO + 4H2O

Redox reaction:

3Fe + 2NO₃⁻+ 8H+ → 3Fe²⁺ + 2NO + 4H2O

According to the voltaic cell, the half-cell reaction (1) shows oxidation reaction therefore, it occurs at anode and the half-cell reaction (2) shows reduction reaction therefore, it occurs at cathode.

Thus, we concluded that the redox reaction is

3Fe + 2NO₃⁻+ 8H+ → 3Fe²⁺ + 2NO + 4H2O

Write the balanced chemical equation for the following reaction. Phases are optional. Solid calcium chlorate decomposes to form

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Explanation:

1)<u> Word equation (given)</u>

<em>calcium chlorate (solid) → solid calcium chloride (solid) + oxygen (gas)</em>

2) <u>Chemical formulae of the reactant and products</u>:

<em><u>Calcium chlorate</u></em><em>: </em>

The most common oxidation states of chlorine are -1, +1, +3, +5, +7.

The suffix ate in chlorate means that chlorine atom is with the third lowest oxidation state (counting only the positive states). So, this is +5.

The oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chlorate is Ca(ClO₃)₂

<u><em>Calcium chloride</em></u>

The suffix ide in chloride means that chlorine is with oxidation state -1. Again the oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chloride is CaCl₂

<u><em>Oxygen</em></u>

Oxygen gas is a diatomic molecule, so its chemical formula is O₂.

<u><em>Phases</em></u>

The symbols s and g (in parenthesis) indicate the solid and gas phases respectively.

3) <u>Chemical equation</u>:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + O₂ (g)

That equation is not balanced becasue the number of O atoms in the reactant side and in the product side are different.

4)<u> Balanced chemical equation:</u>

Add a 3 as coefficient in front of O₂(g), in the product side to balance:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Verify that all the atoms are balanced:

Atom Reactant side Product side

Ca 1 1

Cl 2 2

O 3×2 = 6 2×3 = 6

Conclusion: the equation is balanced and the final answer is:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

When a nitrogen atom becomes an ion, the atom becomes a... A. Negative ion with a radius smaller than the radius of the atom B.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

B. Negative ion with a radius larger than the radius of the atom

Explanation:

When a negative ion is formed, electrons are added to the atom. As electrons are added to the atom, the size of the electron cloud increases accordingly.

As a result of this, a negative ion is always larger than its corresponding atom. Hence, nitrogen ion must be larger than the nitrogen atom based on the facts stated above.

2-butanone is converted into 3-methyl-3-hexanol using a grignard reagent prepared from 1-bromopropane and magnesium metal in thf

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

At the end of the reaction you will have a solution of the alcohol in THF.

The microdistillation procedure will vary, depending on the specific apparatus you are using, but here is a typical procedure.

Transfer the solution to a conical vial.
Add a boiling stone.
Attach a Hickman head (shown below) and condenser.
Place the assembly in in the appropriate hole of an aluminium block on top of a hotplate stirrer.
Begin stirring and heating at a low level so the THF (bp 63 °C) can distill slowly.
Use a Pasteur pipet to withdraw the THF as needed.
When all the THF has been removed, raise the temperature of the Al block and distill the alcohol (bp 143 °C).
